Mag trouble

Bought my first mag air it up pulled the trigger and nothing. Pulled the tigger and nothing again. I was like great I just got screwed then the gun just started shooting on its own. Anyone have any ideas on where I should start? Has x valve with level 10. The gun will not fire if you pull the trigger, but will sometimes fire automatic upon release.

Or should I ask for a refund.

I do not have any mag parts shims ext or add or on/odd or switch out. To see if others work.

Do what Ando suggests for now. It will help moisten the orings and get them moving properly. Quite often, mags just need to be properly tuned. You will need an X-valve tune-up/parts kit. If you have no extra bolt springs, get some of those too. They are needed to properly tune your level 10 and they do wear out as well.

If the valve is used, change all the orings so you know you are starting with fresh genuine AGD orings. If the valve is new, then the orings should be fine and may just need to be moistened with a light synthetic oil.

When you do get your parts kit, tune the level 10 carrier size:

- Remove all the shims from the powertube. You won't be needing them.
- install the largest carrier size that does not produce a leak with the white carrier oring you are using. Always use the same oing in each carrier that you install. Its the oring inner diameter that you are adjusting with the carrier sizes.

Tune the antichop:

- Install the middle red bolt spring. If you can only get the gold and silver springs, use a silver spring.

(Start here)
- starting with the velocity all the way off, turn up the velocity until the gun fires. Measure the velocity.
- Adjust the velocity about 20fps higher. This is your optimum velocity for anti-chop and consistent operation.
- If the velocity is too high for you, cut a coil off one end of the silver spring.
- install the cut end of the spring against the bolt
- go back to "Start here" and check your velocity again.
- once you get the velocity you want, the gun will be tuned for optimum antichop and consistent operation.

Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

The full auto problem is most likely a problem due to a bad oring in your ULT, usually the small one on the top. If not, check for a blemish on the large section of your on-off pin. The sear can cause issues as well, if the tip is worn where it catches the bolt, or if the bolt lip is excessively worn.

Its hard to tell without seeing the face of the sear where it catches the bolt, but it looks fine at first glance.

The level 10 not resetting is usually the carriers, but if you are having ULT problems, the full auto issue due to air getting past the oirngs can cause reset issues as well when using a level 10 bolt.

You should probably get an oring kit and replace all orings. That way you will know that the everything in the valve is fresh, so any issues can be resolved by looking elsewhere. The ULT orings are separate from the X-valve kit. You should replace these as well.
